Rooms with Complex Limits

It is also possible to define more complex limits in a room. Such a limit consists of a number of principal planes, general planes, panels or curves which together build up a continuous limit.

The complex limits can only be defined in either the forward and aft directions, or the portside and starboard directions, or the upwards and downwards directions. It is naturally possible to define a limit in only one of the chosen pair of directions.

Another restriction with the complex limits is that the intersection line between two adjacent planes must be parallel with the x, y or z axis.

The system will automatically make a subdivision of a room with a complex limit in one or two directions into sub-rooms. These sub-rooms will also be stored on the data base and will be combined into a larger unit.

Rooms with complex limits can only be defined in interactive mode.
